# Fee Breakdown

To trade on the Kaizen Bot, there is a 1% fee for buying, selling, and sniping. For whitelisted tokens, primarily bluechip tokens, the fee is reduced to 0.3%, allowing users to trade with lower costs.

The fees collected are distributed across various categories, primarily focused on building the company and rewarding users.

* **Treasury**
* **Global Rev Share**
* **Lotto Rev Share**
* **Staking Rev Share**
* **Team/Operations**

#### <mark style="background-color:green;">Percentage Breakdown for Rewards Paid Out</mark>

A total of 60% of the fees collected are used to benefit users directly, while the remaining 40% is allocated for the growth and development of the company.

| Category           | Percentage (%) |
| ------------------ | -------------- |
| Referral           | 20%            |
| Buy Back and Burn  | 7.5%           |

| KOLs/Top Referrers | 10%            |

#### <mark style="background-color:green;">Pre-Launch Fee Distribution</mark>

Before the token launch, certain categories such as Buy Back and Burn, Staking Rev Share, and Partners are not required. The pre-launch fee distribution categories are:

* **Referral**
* **KOL/Top Referrers**
* **Investors**
* **Global Rev Share**
* **Lotto Rev Share**
* **Treasury**
* **Team**

Private investors who have backed the project early will receive 30% of the fees. This is intended to give them a preview of what the Staking Rev Share could feel like, encouraging them to Super Stake the token.
